Meanwhile, in the life of Ernst Barlach
The whole life1904
First solo exhibition, in Berlin
Barlach's first solo exhibition was held at Richard Mutz's Kunstsalon in Berlin. Yet his works still failed to sell, which left the sculptor depressed.
1906
Eight weeks in Russia
To lift his spirits, Barlach travelled for eight weeks with his brother Nikolaus to visit their brother Hans, who was working in Kharkiv, and saw Kharkiv, Pokotilovka, Konstantinovka, Belgorod and Bakhmut. The journey became one of the greatest influences on his art: “Russia showed me its face,” he later wrote.
1906
Son born: Nikolaus Barlach
1906–1908
Custody battle with Rosa Schwab over his son
While Barlach was travelling in Russia, his son Nikolaus was born on 20 August 1906. A two-year struggle with the child's mother, Rosa Schwab, over custody followed, and in the end Barlach was granted it.
1907
The Berlin Secession and Simplicissimus
In 1907 Barlach became a member of the Berlin Secession and began contributing to the magazine Simplicissimus.
